Wolverine spotted in California

A rare sighting of a protected species; a man camping in the Sierra snaps a photo, catching a glimpse of a wolverine. At first, David Messa wasn’t sure what it was he had captured on camera while on a three-day hike near Lake Spaulding. “Quite a pleasure to see something like that,” Messa told FOX40. “You know, the first day, I actually saw a bald eagle. I thought, well, is the trip gonna get any better than this?”

It really did at first. Not just the tree but I really love wood, and still bothers me a bit to have use the smaller (12-18in) trees as firewood. Smaller saplings I use for a pergola and trees larger that 24” can be sold for the lumber. Just moved to the Santa Cruz Mountains within the last year. These are “new growth” redwoods. “Old growth” redwoods I have to get a permit for removal, and I have one of those just 8’ from my front door next to the porch. It is over 250ft tall and no plans for that one.
